I really don't understand the point of spending so much energy on something you dislike, rather than just using something you do and moving on with your life. Some people like Angular, some don't. If you don't, your opinion really doesn't matter to the people who do, and you're wasting your time trying to convince them they're doing some disservice to the world by using a framework which they actually like.

because frameworks with bigger userbases survive, and keep getting developed. persuading people to move from angular to competitors is a survival tactic. if the next evolution is ignored while a lesser one gets all the press (derby/meteor?) the latter wins out. i have a suspicion all the angular hate is to take away from its momentum so other neglected frameworks get deserved attention.

  Me personally not advocating for any particular framework :) I just personally find angular disgusting. BTW, I work on angular (and typescript!) project for a living :)

Actually, his opinions and the reasons he dislikes Angular matter a bit, to some. I kind of like Angular (I think it's a lot better than jQuery for big apps), and after reading about React.js, and reading about other people who did not like Angular, I eventually decided to try React.js — and now I've ported my hobby project from Angular to React (because of better performance and server side rendering). I appreciate people respectfully clarifying why they don't like Angular (or whatever else) — them doing so has widened my views.
